Nose
You know that hot prickly sensation in the nose when sitting in a hot sauna? This is full of that! Herb crusted cod, pickled carrots and toasted pinenuts.
Palate
Salted caramels, a surprising burst of chimney soot and chargrilled sweetcorn with hints of sulphur at the end.
Finish
With the sooty smoke persistent on the palate it opens up finally over time.
Comment
A fruity smoke adds complexity that makes you want to go back for more.
